Orange Coast College to SDSU
Economics Transfer Plan
Orange Coast College clears every SDSU Economics prep requirement, and STAT C1000 alone satisfies all three of SDSU's accepted stats options at once. ECON A175 and ECON A170 cover macro and micro, and MATH A140 or MATH A180 clears calculus.

Common Mistakes for This Transfer Path
STAT C1000 clears all three stats options
One OCC course, STAT C1000, satisfies ECON 201, STAT 119 and STAT 250 on SDSU's list at once. You still only need to take it once.
MATH A140 needs a prerequisite first
MATH A140, which satisfies SDSU's MATH 120 option, lists MATH A115 or MATH A170 as a prerequisite at OCC. Confirm your placement before you register for it.
MATH A180 is the full Calculus I route
If you'd rather take Calculus I directly, MATH A180 or its honors version satisfies SDSU's MATH 150 option, though OCC lists MATH A170 as its prerequisite.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does OCC ECON A175 transfer to SDSU as ECON 101?
Yes. ECON A175, Macroeconomics at Orange Coast College, or its honors version ECON A175H, satisfies SDSU's ECON 101 requirement for the Economics B.A.
What SDSU Economics prep does OCC not cover?
Nothing required is missing. ECON 202 and MATH 124 have no OCC match, but they sit in a pick-one math list where MATH A140 and MATH A180 both count, so no prep is left for after transfer.
Which classes should I take at OCC for SDSU's calculus requirement?
MATH A140 satisfies the business-calculus option and needs MATH A115 or MATH A170 first. MATH A180 satisfies the Calculus I option instead and needs MATH A170 first.
Is Orange Coast College a local admission area for SDSU?
No. SDSU reserves local admission priority for a set of San Diego-area colleges, and OCC, in Orange County, is outside that list.

Related Transfer Plans
Orange Coast College students headed to San Diego State University for an Economics, B.A. have a fully matched agreement, with ECON A175 and ECON A170 covering macro and micro and STAT C1000 clearing every SDSU stats option at once. Transfermatic maps out the two calculus routes side by side, MATH A140 for the business track and MATH A180 for full Calculus I, so students can pick the one that matches courses they'd take anyway.
